With the help of koji mold, the starch in rice is saccharified and converted into alcohol, a complex process known as a traditional Japanese technique. During this process,
over 100 types of effective components are added to the original components of rice.

～Characteristic Ingredients～
① Pure rice wine, lees, and natural soft water from the famous "Hakukou" brand of Sakagawa Shuzo in Hiroshima Prefecture ～Specialty of Sakagawa Shuzo's Hakukou～ 「The taste becomes richer and the aroma stronger with each sip」
Sakagawa Shuzo has been continuing the traditional techniques of Hiroshima for over a century since its establishment in the 20th year of the Meiji era. The brand name 'Hakukou' is said to represent the spirit of ambition to soar towards the sky. It is an unpretentious yet flavorful wine that enhances the mood of drinkers when paired with food.
The characteristic feature is the water used for brewing. Derived from the highest peak of the Setouchi Sea in the southern part of Hiroshima Prefecture, Mount Norozu, a national park, Sakagawa Shuzo uses the soft water from Mount Norozu for brewing.
Brewing with soft water is a challenging task, and those who know understand that it produces a notable wine. It is this precious combination of pure rice wine, lees, and soft water from Hakukou that gives rise to the THERA Japanese Beauty Wine series.

～The Power of Japanese Sake, Attracting Attention Both Domestically and Internationally - "Japanese Sake for Beauty"～
Japanese sake is representative of fermented foods in Japan. As people often say, "Wine is the king of all remedies," it has excellent pharmacological effects and has been trusted by people since ancient times. Nowadays, it is attracting attention domestically and internationally for its impact on health and beauty. Brewers, who work with rice koji and sake lees every day, often have white and smooth hands, indicating the significant effect of sake on skin beautification and whitening. Now, people are studying this aspect further. Using rice, the staple food of Japanese people, as the raw material, a variety of substances are produced through the metabolism of two types of microorganisms - Aspergillus and yeast - during the sake brewing process. The proteins and starches in rice are decomposed into peptides, amino acids, and sugars by enzymes from Aspergillus. Additionally, through the metabolic activities of Aspergillus and yeast, they are converted into alcohol, organic acids, secondary metabolites, and various other substances.
